Hi,

I've now done a fresh install of 2008.1, and two of the functions on my
mouse (Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0) are not working. The wheel
itself works to scroll up and down, but the push-wheel-left and
push-wheel-right, which provided scroll left and right respectively
under 2008.0, no longer work.

I've looked in the Configure Your Computer->Hardware->Pointer Device
tool, but can't see any way to get this functionality.

Can anyone suggest a solution, please?
Thx.

Try the Microsoft Explorer mouse, in mcc.

Alternatively, if you still have a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the 2008.0
install, try copying the mouse section from that to the 2008.1 version.
If not, see if http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=37706
provides a working version.

Try "man xmodmap", especially the "-pp" option.

I appreciate the responses from David and Peter. Unfortunately, I can't
get the thing working right. It's not the end of the world, and in any
case I suspect I'm going to go back to 2008.0 fairly soon.

No manual entry for xorg

My mistake, that should have been...

man xorg.conf

.... instead. ;-)
